The new year is off to a good start! I would like to present to all of you our newest member, our first for 2008! Rick Nye, Rick is from Portland, Oregan. Rick discovered our club through the internet and our wonderful site here. He has loved vacuums from about the age of 3 and like so many of us he knew the brand of vacuum everyone on his street had! He has been collecting for about 30 years and has 25 vacuums in his collection. His favorite machines are the Kirby 505 and the Dual 80. He also likes Hoover, Airway, and Lewet. He would really like to find a set of attachments for his Hoover model 61 so if any of you out there might know where he could find a set I am sure he would appreciate it. Rick, I know there are other members in Portland so I hope that you will be able to meet up with them. I know that all of you will want to welcome Rick to our fantastic family!! Also remember to mark your calendar for our 2008 convention in North Canton on Aug. 7th thru the 10th. Terry

Welcom Rick!

Rick,

Welcome to this group we call the VCCC. I hope that you find this forum and our club to be a friendly place where we can share not only our hobby and collections of the vacuum cleaner, but many other interests, hobbies, collections as well here on the off topic forum.

We have a great membership base with a lot of knowledge wrapped up in the package as well. Repairing, history, patents, sales demonstrations, you name it, I think there is someone in the club that offers a little peice of all the above.

Looking forward to hearing and seeing pictures of your collection. If you have a digital camera it is very easy to download pictures to this site. If you have any questions about how to do this, just post them here and someone can walk you through the process.

As Terry mentioned, this years convention will be held in North Canton OH, home of the Hoover Vacuum. Even though now Hoover has been sold, there will be plenty for us to see and do at the Hoover Historical Center. The planning committee this year is dedicated to making this one of the best conventions ever. Hopefully you can mark the dates of August 7 - 10 on your calendar.

Welcome, Have Fun, Enjoy the Friendships, the Vacuums and Thank You for being the first new MEMBER OF 2008

Morgan T. Frazer
President of the VCCC
